You can read battery voltage on your voltmeter. If it
reads less than
11 volts or more than 16 volts while your
engine is running, and
it stays there, you may have a
problem with the electrical charging system. Have it
checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading
in a warning zone could drain your battery.
If you idle your engine for a while, the voltmeter
reading might move into the yellow zone.
If the reading
stays in the yellow zone while you are driving, you may
have a problem with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked. While the voltmeter reads in the yellow
zone, your battery may
not be able to power certain
electrical accessories, like ABS.
(If this happens, your
ABS INOP light will come on. See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” in this section.)
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn
off all your accessories,
including your air conditioning system and audio
systems.
Check Gages Light
CHECK GAGES
This red warning light
will come
on briefly
when you are starting
the engine.
If the light
comes on and stays on
while you are driving,
check your gages to
see if they are in the
warning areas.
